1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: Wow, what is up? Welcome to another edition of the

2
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me and your man named

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: g Marcus Grant, fully vaccinated, boosted, and still dodging variants

4
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: like Neo in the matrix. We are almost through Week sixteen,

5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: which means for a lot of you, you are just

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: mirror hours away from moving on to your championship games.

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: So congratulations in advance to those of you who make it.

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: Condolences to those of you who miss out. But we

9
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: got plenty to talk about to help you get there,

10
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: and maybe, you know, kind of help you figure out

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: where things went wrong. But of course I got to

12
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: mention that we are joined as always by producer Justin

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: and the Specialist, a cast of dozens that help us

14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: put this thing together, and joined on screen by my

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: pal Michael f Florio, who I know you had a

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: good We talked about Christmas because we saw each other

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday. We basically did a televised version of this

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: show on Sunday on Fantasy Game Day. But how are

19
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: you looking playoff wise? Are you? Are you on your

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: way to some championship matchups? I am uh I made

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: it in my League of record, which is most important

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: to me. But then I've made three championships. I had

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: four teams alive coming into this weekend, three of them survived,

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: so uh, feeling pretty good about that. And uh, just

25
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: you know, normally Marcauts, this would be it like we

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: would have been crown champions already. So one more weeks ago,

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: one more week hopefully can keep it going. Yeah, man,

28
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: it's uh, this is when you start to feel the

29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: longest season ever, when you've realized, normally this would have

30
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: been the end, but it's it's not. We've got one

31
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: more week of fantasy, We've got two more weeks of

32
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: actual regular season football to be played. I am down

33
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: to one possible championship left. Uh, it was the playoffs

34
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: have not been kind to me, I'll say that. But

35
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: if I can get a decent number out of Miles

36
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: Gaskin tonight against the Saints, uh, then I very well

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: could be in a championship situation next week. So we'll

38
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: see how that goes. We'll talk about the Monday night

39
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: foot All game a little bit later on, but we

40
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: do have a lot of stuff coming up. We are

41
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: forecasting what two could mean for a handful of injured stars.

42
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: We are giving you some streaming options for Week seventeen

43
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: because that doesn't stop. And as I mentioned, we will

44
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: take a look at the Dolphins and Saints on Monday

45
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: Night Football. But let's get started, as we always do,

46
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: with some fantasy headlines, and these are all pretty much

47
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: injury related, and they're pretty much all running back related

48
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: as well. We will start in Jacksonville with uh the

49
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: really tough, unfortunate news about James Robinson that we were

50
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: so excited about him, especially after the departure of Urban Meyer.

51
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: Was really getting back into things, but then suffered a

52
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: torn achilles against the Jets. He has officially done for

53
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: the season. Now. Dari Ogan Bwally was the guy who

54
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: stepped in and got a lot of the work in

55
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: that game yesterday. But for fantasy purposes, does this mean

56
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: we are officially done with the Jaguars for fantasy in one? Yeah? Yeah,

57
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: Like James Robinson was kind of this saving grace there.

58
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: They've had two good matchups and back to back weeks

59
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: against poor defenses. Trevor Lawrence has been able to take

60
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: advantage of it. The receivers really haven't been able to

61
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: take advantage of it. So maybe Darry ogunbawally in a

62
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: deeper format, but for a championship, I would not want

63
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: to be starting any Jaguars unless I'm desperate, especially because

64
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean, next week they're playing the Patriots to uh

65
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 1: you know, and I know you because they've lost back

66
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: to back games, but they've lost back to back games

67
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: against good teams. The Jaguars are not a good team.

68
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't want any part of any Jacksonville player. So

69
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: I think we say goodbye to them for one and

70
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: uh you know, we turned the page to two. In Philadelphia,

71
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders left the game against the Giants on Sunday

72
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: with a hand injury. Turns out he has fractured a

73
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: bone in his hand. Is expected to have an m

74
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: r I on Monday to determine the severity of it.

75
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: But I would be very surprised if he's on the

76
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: field for Philly this week against Washington. So in that case,

77
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: where do we pivots in the Eagles backfield? Floria, I

78
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: think Jordan's Howard would be my preferred option there of

79
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: the Eagles running backs. Like yet, yesterday when Miles Sanders

80
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: went out, we did see them split, but we saw

81
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders get a little bit more of the snaps

82
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: thirty Uh. He had four targets, which I love to see,

83
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: nine carries. I know Boston Scott score the touchdown, but

84
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: I think that Jordan Howard would get goal line carries.

85
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: But so he would be my preferred ad. But Marcus

86
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: in the Waiver Wire article, I said, both of them

87
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: are kind of in play as flex options, and whichever

88
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: one has the better day might come down to whicheverone

89
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: scores the touchdown. So I think we get two options here,

90
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: but my preferred would be Jordan Howard, So I'll go

91
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: slightly the other way and say Boston Scott, although I

92
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: think it's it's pretty close with both of them. As

93
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: you mentioned, Jordan Howard maybe more likely to get those

94
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: goal line opportunities, but Scott actually had more carries yesterday,

95
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: had more yards, and as you mentioned, he had the

96
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: touchdown there. Was surprised to not see him involved in

97
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: the passing game. Usually he can get a few targets

98
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: in there as well, So maybe that happens next week

99
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: if Miles Sanders isn't able to go. But considering what

100
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: the Washington football team put on film yesterday, you have

101
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: to at least like the matchup. Hopefully there are no

102
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: Washington players fighting with each other on the sidelines, but

103
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 1: either way, I guess if you're really in a penance,

104
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: you need a flex option. Jordan Howard, Boston Scott both

105
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: out there. I would imagine they are both pretty heavily

106
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: available on waiver wire, so, uh, something to keep in

107
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: mind when you're building your lineup. Four week seventeen in

108
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: Kansas City, the Chiefs got a huge win against the

109
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. Congratulations to them. They are once again champions

110
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: of the a f C West and uh still potentially

111
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: hunting that one seed in the a f C. But

112
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: it was Clyde Edwards, a layer suffering a collar bone injury. Now,

113
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: the x rays were negative on Sunday night. He's expected

114
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: to have an m r I on Monday, but presuming

115
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: he's not going to be able to go. As as

116
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: simple as saying, it's just now Darryl Williams season, it is.

117
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: And you know, as someone like I said, I made

118
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: it in my league of record, I have both of

119
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: the Chiefs running backs. I'm hoping that c H just

120
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: sits because it's been better for fantasy when one of

121
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: these running backs is out when since we've seen them

122
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: come back, we've seen a committee and I know, like

123
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: people yesterday we're like, oh, well c H got hurt,

124
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: That's why we saw so much Darryl Williams. No, we

125
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: were seeing Daryl Williams before Clyde Edwards Hilaire got hurt.

126
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: We only started to see Gore after he got hurt.

127
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: But before that, Williams had more snaps, he had more touches,

128
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: he had more targets, all of that, and he got

129
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: the first crack at the goal on work before c

130
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 1: H came in and had that really impressive touchdown runs.

131
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: So we've seen it before. Like Daryl Williams is a

132
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: really good backup that when he has to start, he can.

133
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: He's a high end r B two that gives you

134
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,119
Speaker 1: potentially RB one upside. So I'm hoping c H sits.

135
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: Daryl Williams is a is a very strong option. If

136
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: c H sits next week well, and I like your

137
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: point that it is better off for fantasy if we

138
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: just have one of them. Especially next week they've got

139
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: the Bengals and what just pure football, Wich should be

140
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: a great matchup with two teams that are playing really

141
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: good football. Trying to improve their seed potentially for the

142
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: playoffs there. So, uh, you gotta love that one there.

143
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: But you're right having them split opportunities against the defense

144
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati that's played pretty well the last few weeks. Uh,

145
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: it just seems like a bad deal. So not that

146
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: we're wishing an ill on Clyde Edward de Layer, but

147
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: for us, if we just know that it's one guy,

148
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: I think we can feel better about it, whether it's

149
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's Williams or Edward ah Layer. We

150
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: just want one. That's all we want. Eric b Enemy uh,

151
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, if you're listening out there and we know

152
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: you are, UM, please just just gift us that for

153
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: for New Year's That's really kind of all we're asking for. Um.

154
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: So we sit here talking about injuries and how they're

155
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: going to impact the rest of the one fantasy season.

156
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: There have been obviously a number of big time injuries

157
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: that could have an impact on draft position when we

158
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: get to twenties twenty two. So I just wanted to

159
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: pick on a few of them, uh, and we'll kick

160
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: around where we think they're going to go. Obviously, it

161
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: is you know, late December, we are still months and

162
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: months away from drafts being started here and there's a

163
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: lot that's going to happen, But very curious about what

164
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: you think about, say some of these guys for next year.

165
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: So the first one Christian McCaffrey, who is out for

166
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: this year, and it makes two years in a row

167
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: though where he has suffered injuries that have kept him

168
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: off the field for a very long time. We know

169
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: when he's healthy what he can be and what he

170
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: can do, But now I think the questions of can

171
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: he stay healthy for sixteen games seventeen games? Uh, start

172
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: to become really really relevant. So that being said, if

173
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: we're drafting right now, where are you taking McCaffrey. I

174
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: I originally was thinking he would go late first early

175
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: second round, but then every other running back got hurt

176
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: as well, besides really Alstin Ekeler and Jonathan Taylor. So

177
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think Christian McCaffrey goes as like the

178
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: middle of the first round pick. I think j T

179
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: and Ekela will definitely go ahead of him. Mix In

180
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: is someone I'm starting to see get a lot of

181
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: top five love. I think like Naji Harris, Derrick Henry,

182
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: those guys will be the conversation Dalvin Cook. But you

183
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: look at it, Dalvin Cook's missed a lot of time

184
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: and his production has kind of come to a halt

185
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. Kamara has been the same and he's

186
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: missed times. So I think CMC who is still the

187
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: safest bet to score twenty five Fantasy points in any

188
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: given week when healthy. In my opinion, I think he'll

189
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: be a middle of the first round pick, maybe someone

190
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: you get it, like fifth, six, seventh overall in that range.

191
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: So I I wrote down late first round, but listening

192
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: to you talk is sort of kind of convinced me

193
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: that maybe I bump him up to the middle of

194
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: the first round. Cause I'm thinking, you know, Derrick Henry

195
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: is certainly gonna be there, as you mentioned, Austin Ekeler

196
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: is going to be there. Jonathan Taylor, I mean Taylor

197
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: maybe the number one pick with with Henry and Eckler

198
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: somewhere in there. Um. And so maybe we are talking

199
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: about Christian McCaffrey somewhere at five or something like that.

200
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of who maybe you put Dalvin

201
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: Cook slightly ahead of him. Um, But you know, say

202
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: Kwan's going to drop out Ezekiel Elliott is going to

203
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: drop out. There are a lot of these guys that

204
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: we're not going to talk about as first round picks,

205
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: or at least not very high in the first round.

206
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: So McCaffrey probab he ends up in that conversation by default.

207
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: But you know, the argument is going to be, well,

208
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: can he stay healthy and after the last two years, Uh,

209
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: it is certainly a valid criticism. But again, as you mentioned, Uh,

210
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: a guy who when he's right, you can almost pencil

211
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: in twenty five fantasy points per game, So that makes

212
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: it really hard to ignore him that early in the

213
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: first round. All right, let's go over to James Robinson,

214
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: who we just mentioned is done for the rest of

215
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: the season with an achilles tear. I think he's in

216
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: an interesting situation because one, he obviously is going to

217
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: be rehabbing pretty much all off season long to get

218
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: ready for training camp. But there's also the expected return

219
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: of Travis A t n. We didn't see him at

220
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: all because of his injury that happened in the preseason,

221
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: so it's going to be kind of an interesting situation.

222
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: Throw in the fact that the Jaguars are going to

223
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: have a new head coach next year, and what are

224
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: we looking at for James Robinson. Yeah, I think because

225
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: of all the reasons you said that the injury is,

226
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: is he gonna be ready in time for the start

227
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: of the year. I mean, torn achilles used to be

228
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: all season and full year. Now I mean we're seeing

229
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: cam Acres come back from it already six months later.

230
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: So maybe he is ready for the start of the year,

231
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: But I think that will be a big question all

232
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: summer long. Then there's Travisy t n who's gonna be

233
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: running the offense. What is the offense gonna look like?

234
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: Because it was brutal this year. I think with all

235
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: of those question marks, I'm thinking around the fifth round,

236
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: someone that you can get is like an RB two

237
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: or reflex option, because that is the RB dead zone

238
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: as it's grown to be called Marcus. But uh, I

239
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: think he'll slide into that like the first three or

240
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: four rounds. I think you'll be you'll be targeting running

241
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: backs early, maybe some receivers, and then when you're looking

242
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: like do I want an RB three maybe waited on

243
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: your running back. I think that is the area where

244
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: James Robinson the land this year. So I I may

245
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: be a little optimistic on this one. I've got him

246
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: as a third fourth round pick, but you're right, so

247
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: much of it depends one for me, on the rehab process,

248
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: and and if we get to June or July and

249
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: there's really legitimate talk of James Robinson being ready to go,

250
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: then I think I feel better about it. I mean,

251
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: I kind of worry about his role in the offense

252
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: with a t N and whoever the new head coaches,

253
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: but I think what he has done the last two

254
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: seasons really merits that he's going to get a pretty

255
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: good workload regardless of who's running the offense there. So

256
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: for me, it's just the biggest thing about rehab. I say,

257
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: third or fourth round. But again, that could be really optimistic.

258
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: If we're getting to the summer and it looks like

259
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: he's still a couple of months away, and then maybe

260
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: he's going to miss some preseason games or maybe even

261
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: the first regular season game, that I think that changes dramatically.

262
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: But um, I mean, he's a good player. I've enjoyed

263
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: watching him play. I've liked his production, and hopefully, uh

264
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: he's able to come back from this achilles injury. The

265
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: other part of it is too. Has to note a

266
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: lot of people have pointed out achilles injuries tend to

267
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: be killers for running backs. Uh, we'll see if cam

268
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: Akers is able to rebound from it. We'll see what

269
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: happens with James Robinson. But I want to I want

270
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: the best for him. I do. It's been a rough

271
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: couple of years for James Robinson, a guy who came

272
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, and hopefully things get better. Last one

273
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: and this one is really interesting because I mind you,

274
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm the one who builds the rundown and I'm the

275
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: one who puts the names in and I still had

276
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: no idea where to slot this guy. But Michael Thomas,

277
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: who we have barely seen in the last two seasons, Uh, really,

278
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, didn't see him this year. I don't know

279
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: where he's going to be next year, if he's back

280
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: in New Orleans, if he goes somewhere else. But we

281
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: know that when he's healthy, what he can do and

282
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: how productive he can be. There just so many unknowns

283
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: with Michael Thomas. Where are we pegging him for next year?

284
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: This was by far the hardest one for me to

285
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: figure out. I haven't pegged right now for a fifth

286
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: rounder because that's typically is when people start to target

287
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: like like upside receivers, and there's gonna be you know,

288
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about we'll look at what Michael

289
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: Thomas did two years ago. He was the best water

290
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: receiver in football. Yeah, we haven't seen him since, but

291
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: we know his upside. I agree with you, so much

292
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: of it is is he playing for the Saints? And

293
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: if he is, who's the quarterback? Because it Taysom Hill,

294
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, someone else? Is he gone? I think he

295
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: is going to be one of the more polarizing players

296
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: of the draft season markets because it's easy to sell,

297
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: to paint the story of how great he could be.

298
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: It's also easy to paint the story of like, look

299
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: what's happened in the last two years and how disastrous

300
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: it could be. So I don't think he'll be like

301
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: a you know, a top four round pick, but I

302
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: think once we get into like the fifth rounders, so

303
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: people are gonna start talking themselves into his upside. I again,

304
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: I guess because I'm nervous the one thing or one

305
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: of the things that that fantasy drafters like. It's very

306
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: similar to you know, stock market investors. We want stability.

307
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: We we don't like uncertainty, and right now, Michael Thomas

308
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: comes with a ton of uncertainty. So I've got him

309
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: somewhere between the seventh and the ninth rounds just because

310
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: we have zero idea of what is going to happen,

311
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: of what to expect. I would imagine there are people

312
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: who maybe feel a little bit more confident who may

313
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: reach for him a little bit earlier. There may be

314
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: people who just completely back away from him and say,

315
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm not drafting him at all because there's too much

316
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: unknown there. But he really is one of the bigger

317
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: wild cards I think when it comes to fantasy draft

318
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: season next year. And and obviously we're gonna learn a

319
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: lot more between now and say, you know, April or May,

320
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: between free agency, the draft and and all the things

321
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: that kind of come with the off season. But Michael

322
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: Thomas is going to be really really hard to pay.

323
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: And you know, he could have a bounceback season and

324
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: somebody could end up with a huge value. Uh, it

325
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: could end up like Allen Robinson this year, and you're

326
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: kicking yourself for even you know, approaching something like that. So, uh,

327
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: we'll see, there'll be more of this There'll be more

328
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: conversations like this, There'll be more players. I'm sure that

329
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: we are trying to figure out. But again, it's December.

330
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: We got a long way before we gotta have any

331
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: hard and fast answers about that. Uh. That gets us

332
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: to another edition of things we learned. It's our opportunity

333
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: to talk about what we saw over the weekend, usually

334
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: say on Sunday, but we had Saturday games, we even

335
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: had a Thursday game. But what we have seen so

336
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: far in week sixteen, and how we can use this

337
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: going forward, even if there is just one more week

338
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: of the fantasy season. And uh, so for you, what

339
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: have you seen the last few days that has uh

340
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: impacted your thoughts a little bit? Unfortunately it is our boy,

341
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: everyone's favorite waiver wire pickup this year, Cardaro Patterson. He's uh,

342
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: he's come back down to life, to earth, whatever the

343
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: saying is. But uh, it's it's been a little bit

344
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: of a rough go for Cardaro Patterson as of late.

345
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: The thing is, early on in the year, we loved

346
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: him because of how he was being used. They were

347
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: using him as a receiver at times as a running back.

348
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: He was good for at least five targets every game,

349
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: and his last six weeks five targets is his high.

350
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: He has two targets in the last two games and

351
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: three or few were in four of his last six.

352
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: Single digits in two straight games because he's really just

353
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: getting carries. Now, if you're not catching passes and you're

354
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: on a team like the Falcons who doesn't score a

355
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: bunch of touchdowns, it's hard to get those twenty point

356
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: games that way. So he's kind of the last few

357
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: weeks been like a a safe floor type of player,

358
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: and then the last two the floors kind of bottomed out.

359
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: So I know there's only one week left. He gets

360
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: the bills next week. The bills have been ran on,

361
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: but I don't know if I love the Falcons chances

362
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: of doing so. I think, just on volume alone, you

363
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: probably still have to start Patterson. But the days of

364
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: him being an RB one I think are behind us.

365
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 1: It's just it's you know, they were so good at

366
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 1: using him right. We had praised the Falcons for figuring

367
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: out how to unlock cordarrel Patterson, uh and now they

368
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: seem to can't figure it out again. I don't know

369
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: what happened, but definitely disappointing for somebody who gave you

370
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: so much for most of the year to kind of

371
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: see it fade away when you need it to when

372
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: you really need it the most at the end of

373
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: the season for me, he said. Mark Andrews seems to

374
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: be quarterback proof in Baltimore. Um, he is the tight

375
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: end one overall, and he's actually putting some space between

376
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: himself and Travis Kelsey right now. Obviously it helps that

377
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: Kelsey did not play in Week sixteen as he was

378
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: on the COVID list. But you go back over the

379
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: last few weeks for Mark Andrews and he's given you, uh,

380
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: twenty points, forty five points, twenty six points. It's been

381
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: a huge run for him, and he's done it with

382
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: a combination of a little bit of Lamar Jackson so

383
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley and then did it on Sunday with Josh

384
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: Johnson at quarterbacks. So some of this has to do

385
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: with the fact that Baltimore can't find any consistency in

386
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: their past. Catchers Rashot Bateman, Marquis Brown are up and down.

387
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: You just never know week to week which version of

388
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: them is going to show up. Mark Andrews has been steady.

389
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: He has been constant. He has been a security blanket

390
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: for whoever is throwing the football there in Baltimore. And

391
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be real talk about whether or

392
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: not he gets drafted ahead of Kelsey. We've talked about

393
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: Kelsey uh not going in the first round. I think

394
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: that's pretty much a done deal that that Travis Kelsey

395
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: is not gonna be a first round pick, and there

396
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: probably won't be any tight ends who are a first

397
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: round pick. But I'll ask you are are we ready

398
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: to make the pivot and make Mark Andrews the first

399
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: tight end off the board in two I was actually

400
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: just thinking about this this morning, and I think so

401
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: like Travis Kelsey is gonna be thirty three, George Kittle

402
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: is really good, but there's a lot of options around him,

403
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: and he's been banged up. Wallers coming off of a

404
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: down year. I think we're seeing a changing at the

405
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: guard and I think next year we'll see Mark Andrews

406
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: as the first tight end off the board. Yeah. I

407
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: do think it's gonna be a real interesting conversation. I

408
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: think what's gonna happen is it will be the folks

409
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: like us, the analysts, the sharps uh, the degenerates who

410
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: do this all the time, who will go after Mark

411
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: Andrews as the Titan one. I think when you get

412
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: a lot of the casual folks who come in a

413
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: little bit later in the season, I think that muscle

414
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: memory still keeps Travis Kelsey near the top of that list,

415
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 1: but I think that the tide is turning on who

416
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: the top tight end is going to be. It was

417
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: a rough day for the Baltimore Ravens against the Cincinnati Bengals,

418
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: but Mark Andrews still found a way to to get

419
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: it done. Speaking of the Bengals, will take a break.

420
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: But did Joe burrows big day move him up the

421
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: Dynasty quarterback rankings? We dive into the Tiger King's career

422
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: game when the NFL Fantasy Football Show returns. Take a

423
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: look at the top sixty of the Week six team

424
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: top performers. That's what I'm going for here. Some of

425
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: the notable names on that list. Joe Burrow with just

426
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: a bananas day thirty eight point one Fantasy points, No shock,

427
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: He's your QB one. Josh Allen the QB three with

428
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: thirty point nine six Fantasy points for the Bills, and

429
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: they're big win over the Patriots. Justin Jackson, you'r RB

430
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: one thirty four point two points could have been a

431
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: touch higher had he not bumbled the football. Rex Burke

432
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: head hashtag Rex in the flex. If you did that,

433
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: you feel good. He's r RB three twenty eight point nine.

434
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: Damian Harris just behind him, RB four twenty eight point

435
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: three fantasy points. Tee Higgins with a nuclear type day

436
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: forty three point four points. Here is your wide receiver one. A. J.

437
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: Brown going back to Thursday Night with the Titans beating

438
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: the forty Niners thirty one and a half points. Makes

439
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: him the wide receiver. Three. Your wide receiver four. Kind

440
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: of surprise, Isaiah McKenzie twenty nine point four fantasy points.

441
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews. You're tied in one at twenty six and

442
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: a half. Kyle Pitts, who we all thought would have

443
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: a good day, he did sixteen point two anassy points.

444
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: That makes him your tight end four. But let's go

445
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: back to the Tiger King. Joe Burrow the fourth most

446
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: passing yards in a single game in NFL history, which,

447
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: by the way, side note the fact that Norm Van Brocklin,

448
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: who has the record that record has stood for seventy years.

449
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: He did in nineteen fifty one. Thinking of the game

450
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: then versus the game now, the fact that somebody could

451
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: throw for five hundred and fifty four yards uh in

452
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty one just seems mind boggling. But for Joe Burrow,

453
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: a huge day five five for him in a big

454
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: win over the Ravens. Let's look at that next year, right,

455
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: Let's look at dynasty quarterbacks because, uh, you know, Trevor Lawrence,

456
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: I think was was a guy that everybody had high. Obviously,

457
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: this year has not been great. Joe Burrow, coming back

458
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: off the knee injury, has been really really good at

459
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: times this year. Um, is he a top three dynasty

460
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: quarterback heading into next year? It? Does he belong higher?

461
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: Is he maybe even the number one dynasty quarterback? Not?

462
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: Not for me? He is not in my top three.

463
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: I think Joe Burrow kind of gets viewed as like

464
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: a young quarterback because he's only in his second year

465
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But he's twenty five years old. He's

466
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: around the same age as Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.

467
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: He's older than Lamar and Kyler Murray, uh and Justin

468
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: Herbert I would have all five of those guys ahead

469
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: of him. I think Joe Burrow then it's the sixth

470
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: quarterback for dynasty purposes. But it's just it's nothing against

471
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. He's really good. The pieces around him are

472
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: really good. His offense is really good. He doesn't run though,

473
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: and those other guys can all give you points with

474
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: their legs. They're all uh, strong arm quarterbacks and high

475
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: powered offenses as well. So for me, I think after

476
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: like you could put those six in any order, I

477
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: think after them, there's a big drop off. But for me,

478
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: I would have those other quarterbacks of similar age ahead

479
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: of Joe Burrow. Yeah. It's interesting too because I hadn't

480
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: even thought about the twenty five year old thing because uh,

481
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, and the fact that he is the same

482
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: age as Patrick Mahomes who's been doing it for a

483
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: handful of years now, Lamar Jackson, same thing. He already

484
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: has uh an m VP award under his belt. Um,

485
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: maybe it is maybe it's being a prisoner of the

486
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: moment and seeing what Joe Burrow did on Sunday. He

487
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: does have some good pieces around him though, right with

488
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: Tee Higgins Chase, Uh, there's a lot to like about

489
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: this offense, but maybe you're right in terms of of

490
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: where he is age wise, and the fact that he

491
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: doesn't run quite as much as some of those other

492
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: guys I think I think does kind of maybe keep

493
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: him out of the top three. Um. Yeah, we'll definitely

494
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: talk some Dynasty stuff in the off season because I

495
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be an interesting conversation there. Uh is

496
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts in there. I just feel like I feel

497
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: like because his his status in Philadelphia is so uncertain

498
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: that it's hard to put him in that list. I

499
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: didn't even consider him. But if he's the starter, I

500
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: think he I think the reason we're holding Jalen Hurts

501
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: back is because we're not convinced he's the long term

502
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: starting there. But if he is, he's definitely in that group.

503
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: And and Marcut speaking of Dynasty and and even just

504
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: drafts next year, Jamaar Chase first, Tee Higgins is gonna

505
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: be I did one of the bigger arguments that we

506
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: have all summer long. Yeah, I think it really will be. Um,

507
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: that's gonna be interesting to see because both those guys

508
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: I think will end up probably second third round. I

509
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: think in a lot of drafts, but it's just gonna

510
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: be a question of which one you take first, and uh,

511
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna battle that one for for months.

512
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: I think. Uh. Kyle Pitts had a good day yesterday,

513
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 1: age mints and just over sixteen Fantasy points there, one

514
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: of his bigger days of the year. So this is

515
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: the thing I know you and I have sort of

516
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: talked about, but not at any real length. How would

517
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: you rate his fantasy season? Because statistically he's doing things

518
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: that no rookie tied end has ever done. But we

519
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: look at it we're kind of like, I mean we

520
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: a few weeks we were like, is he even startable anymore? Um,

521
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: how would you rate this season? Originally, like a couple

522
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, I was calling Kyle Pitts a bust.

523
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: But then I looked into his numbers last week after

524
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: he made the Pro Bowl, and I had to reassess

525
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: because Kyle Pitts is doing exactly what we said he

526
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: was going to do. We said he was going to

527
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: be the best rookie fantasy tight end and quite some

528
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: time he's all forget Even yesterday, coming into week sixteen,

529
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: he had already set the record for rookie tight end

530
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: receiving yard since two thousand ten. He had a chance

531
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: to break ah, to break a thousand yards season and

532
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: to break the fantasy rookie record uh in that span

533
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: as well, with a couple of good games. And that's

534
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 1: exactly what he had yesterday. So he's a top ten

535
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: tight end when it comes to points per game. He's

536
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: top ten in total points. Maybe he's not the top

537
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: three or top five tight end that we all were

538
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: hoping he could be, but that's on us. That's not

539
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: a Kyle pits Pits miss. That's us miss. So I

540
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: think Kyle Pitts is doing exactly what we all thought

541
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: he would be. He's the best rookie tight end we've

542
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: seen in quite some time, and I'm really excited to

543
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: draft him next year. I just think our expectations were

544
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 1: a little too high this year. It is, you know,

545
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: uh for the time biankest calling it Clyde Edward de

546
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: Layre syndrome. Um. You know, we're where we put our

547
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: expectations to the moon and when a guy falls short

548
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: of that and suddenly were like, well maybe he's a

549
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: bustle now not really, Uh, Kyle Pits is third among

550
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: tight ends currently in receiving yards. He's at least sixth

551
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: in receptions. The only thing he hasn't done this year

552
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: score touchdowns. He has just one touchdown all year. But

553
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I would like to say touchdowns

554
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: are fickle beasts, right, It's it's hard to predict when

555
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: they're going to come, where they're going to come. That's

556
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: a thing that as long as he's continuing to get

557
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: the target volume that he is, the touchdowns will be there.

558
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: Whether it's you know, at the end of this year,

559
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: whether it's going into next year, that part's going to come.

560
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: But he has had that kind of production and he's

561
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: done it primarily as a wide receiver. I mean, I

562
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: know he's listed as a tied end, but they have

563
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: lined him up more as a wide receiver than anything else,

564
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: and especially since Calvin Ridley has been away from the team,

565
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: there's been a heavy reliance on him. So I think

566
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: it is one of those things where when you step

567
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: back and you look at what he has done, I

568
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: think you realize that he's not been a bad season.

569
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 1: It's been a pretty good season for Kyle Pitts, and

570
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, the expectation is that he will continue to improve,

571
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: that he's only going to get better. Uh, and that

572
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: you know the production will rise accordingly. So Uh, he's

573
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: another one that that is going to move up the ranks.

574
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, when we drafted next year, we'll

575
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: be talking about him knocking on the door of the elites,

576
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: and he might already be there. So we may have

577
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: the Big three moving to the Big four or five

578
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: next year, depending on where you're drafting. Kyle Pitts, Alright,

579
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: those are the guys who made us happy. How about

580
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: the guys who made us a little bit unhappy on

581
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: Sunday or at least in weeks sixteen with a round

582
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: of I'm salty. Who was the biggest disappointment for you

583
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: on the verge of Championship Week Keenan Allen. And I

584
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: know multiple people who lost and they were like, I

585
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: lost because of Keenan Allen, and it's hard to blame them.

586
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Keenan Allen came into this game going up

587
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: against the Houston Texans in a game where there was

588
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: no Mike Williams, no Jalen guy, and they were clearly

589
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: no Austin Ekeler, clearly shorthanded. You expected a lot of

590
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: volume to go Keenan Allen's way, and then they fell

591
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: behind and you were like, even better game script, it's

592
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: a positive games for Keenan and they'll throw a bunch

593
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: his way. Six targets a season low four catches, he

594
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: only had thirty five scrimmage yards season low seven point

595
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: five fantasy points. He had had double digits in every

596
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: other game except for this one. So he saved his

597
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: worst game of the year for when you all needed

598
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: it most. And uh, he if you have Keenan Allen

599
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: and you advanced to the championship, good luck, because I

600
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: know a lot of people did not. Well, I'm gonna

601
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: stick with a guy who also wears blue and yellow

602
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: and plays his home games at SOFI Stadium in Los Angeles. Uh,

603
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: it's Matthew Stafford who went on the road to Minnesota

604
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: and what looked like a great matchup. I mean, we

605
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: were so excited about what Cooper Cup was going to do,

606
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: and it just felt like, well, if Cooper Cups having

607
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: a big game, then Matthew Stafford is probably going to

608
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: have a big game. Instead of fewer than two d

609
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: passing yards, three interceptions, six point six fantasy points by

610
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: far his lowest output of the season, and again a

611
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: situation where it seemed like a good matchup and it

612
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: seemed like he was ready to prosper, just could not

613
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: really get anything going consistently. The Rams did get a win, um,

614
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: but it wasn't pretty and uh it really had very

615
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: little to do with Matthew Stafford and his performance there.

616
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: So another frustrating one, especially if you were starting him. Uh,

617
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: if you were in a two QB league, even just

618
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: a regular one quarterback league, this is one that let

619
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: you down. Hopefully you were able to survive with some

620
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: performances elsewhere, but otherwise it was a really really pour

621
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: outing fantasy wise for Matthew Stafford in that one in

622
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: Week sixteen. If you watch the show regularly, which I

623
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: hope you do, you know what I'm about to say

624
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: right now, follow us on TikTok at NFL Fantasy. I

625
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: know the season's almost over, doesn't matter, you know, fantasy

626
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: never sleeps. Were year round. We're gonna keep tiktalking like

627
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: a clock, TikTok, TikTok all year round. Is that why

628
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: they called it TikTok because it just never stopped. I

629
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: don't know anyway, you follows in NFL fantasy. You follow

630
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: me at Marcus Grant. I've kind of taken a short hiatus,

631
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: but I'll be back. I promise you. I'm gonna start

632
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: doing more fun stuff again, uh in the very near future,

633
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: some of them maybe even fantasy football related. All right, Uh,

634
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: in is week seventeen, and people are still building lineups,

635
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: and you may be dealing with COVID issues like NFL teams.

636
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: You may be dealing with in a with injury issues

637
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: like NFL teams, in which case you might be looking

638
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: to stream somebody. So we looked at the quarterback tighten

639
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: and defensive stream options for you heading into weeks seventeen.

640
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: Floorial quarterback worship folks consider I think to a tongue

641
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: of Voloa is a solid streaming option. And look, next

642
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: week is rough for streaming quarterbacks because all the matchups

643
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: that we like to attack the elite quarterbacks seemed to

644
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: be in those matchups and those guys aren't available out there.

645
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: But two is available and over about half of the

646
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com league's as well. He hasn't shown us

647
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: a huge ceiling since earlier in the season, but he's

648
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: a pretty safe floor. He could get you over fifteen

649
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: fantasy points in a game, and the Titans are in

650
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: the top ten and fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. I

651
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: know they've been playing better as of late, but on

652
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: the year, there's still UH in the top ten, and

653
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: this is just like, hey, if you're going a little

654
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: bit deeper at quarterback, I think he is a safe

655
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: floor type of place, so someone that you could get in.

656
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: He won't win you the week, but he also won't

657
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: lose you the week. So this one might be a

658
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: little bit weird, but I'm gonna go with Jared Goff.

659
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: I know he's an easy punchline when we talk about quarterbacks,

660
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: especially fantasy quarterbacks, but he's given you nineteen or more

661
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: points in two of the last three games he played.

662
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: Obviously missed Sunday's game as he was on the COVID list,

663
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: so this is with an asterisk if he is healthy

664
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: and ready to go. But he's got Seattle, and the

665
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: Seahawks have given up some big yards in big fantasy

666
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: points to quarterbacks this year. Plus, look, he is at

667
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: least familiar with the Seattle defense, having spent uh the

668
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: start of his career with the Rams. He played the

669
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: Seahawks twice a year, so at least has an understanding

670
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: of sort of how this defense operates. Uh, and throwing

671
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: the fact that I'm on Ross st. Brown has been

672
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: on fire for the last month. Uh, this could be

673
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: an interesting streaming play, especially if you're going DFS wise

674
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: you just want to be contrarian. Maybe Jared Goff is

675
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: the way to go all right over to tight end,

676
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: which is always a big when people everybody's pretty much

677
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: treat me tight ends. Oh year long? Where should folks

678
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: go in Week seventeen? I felt better about this answer

679
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: before last night's game, but I still think Greek Seals

680
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: Jones is in play as a streaming option because he

681
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: gets the Eagles next week. I mean, the Eagles give

682
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: up the most fantasy points there in the top three,

683
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: and yards, catches, touchdowns all allowed to tight ends. Even

684
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram scored eight touchdown against them. The only thing

685
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: I don't love is last night Jonathan Bates was he

686
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: played more snaps and saw more targets and Ricky Seals Jones,

687
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: but I'm thinking that might be because they were down

688
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: a billion points to like after the opening UH possession.

689
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: But last week against the Eagles we saw rs Ja

690
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: gets seven targets, so I think if you're going a

691
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: little bit deeper at tight end, he's a name for you.

692
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: But I will fully say, Marcus, I like your streaming

693
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: option even better. Yeah. First of all, you mentioned Evan Ingram.

694
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: He had eleven point eleven point seven points yesterday and

695
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: that was like his second highest output of the season,

696
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,959
Speaker 1: So good for him, Eagle Eagles. My option is Tyler Higbee. Um. Look,

697
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: and I know I just talked about Matt Stafford having

698
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: a disappointing day against the against the Vikings, but I

699
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: do think they're gonna bounce back offensively, and I think,

700
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, Higgbee is a nice option in the passing

701
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: game for them. I know we spent a lot of

702
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: time talking about their wide receivers, but the matchup against

703
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens has been a pretty good one for tight

704
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: ends all year long. So, um, you know, if we

705
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: don't see big targets for say Van Jefferson or Odell

706
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. It's probably because they're going to Tyler Higbee.

707
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: So again, I know he's sort of been up and

708
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: down this year, but this feels like an opportunity to

709
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: get Higbee and give him some run for the end

710
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: of the season. Now over to defenses, and this was

711
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: another one that I found it sort of tough because

712
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the good matchups, uh were defenses that

713
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: are elite, are already highly rostered. So I felt like

714
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: I had to dig a little bit deeper. I don't

715
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: know about you for this one. Yeah, no, I felt

716
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: the same exact way. And this is another situation, Marcus,

717
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: where I liked your pick even better than mine, but

718
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to give you know, people a second option

719
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: just in case. So I think the Seattle Seahawks going

720
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: up against the Detroit Lions, uh, it might be Tim

721
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: Boyle again leading the wave for Detroit, so that would

722
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: certainly make it a more appealing option. And it's just

723
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: it's the Lions, man, So they don't score a lot

724
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: of points outside of a mahnras St Brown, there's no

725
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: one that you're really afraid of for fantasy. So I

726
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: think you get you get the Seahawks if you're getting

727
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: a little bit deeper in need of a streaming defense.

728
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: So I did look at the Seahawks. I thought about

729
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: them a little bit, but instead I pivoted and went

730
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: to the Chicago Bears, and you know, they have sort

731
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: of been getting after the quarterback a lot in the

732
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: last few games. They've got the Giants coming up this week.

733
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: I don't know who's going to be the quarterback. If

734
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Jake from if it's gonna be Mike Glennon.

735
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: Either way, I'm not too scared of them. I mean,

736
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: the fact that we are celebrating Evan Ingram getting four

737
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: catches for seventeen yards and a touchdown speaks a lot

738
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,479
Speaker 1: to where the Giants offense is right now. Their past

739
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: catchers are a mess in general. Sa Kwan Barkley has

740
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: been a huge disappointment. So this feels like an opportunity

741
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: for the Bears to go out and make some havoc

742
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: defensively and could be a really good streaming option for

743
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: any body who is in the need this week. All right,

744
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: let's take a pause for just a minute. But when

745
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: we come back on the NFL Fantasy Football Show, it

746
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: might be Championship week, but that doesn't mean you can't

747
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: still play the waiver wire. We got some free agent

748
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: suggestions for you coming up after the break. Every week,

749
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 1: Michael left Florial puts together his list of waiver wire targets,

750
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: which continue to get harder as you get further into

751
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: the season. But he was up to the task again

752
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: in week seven seen so please sir, take us through

753
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: your list. Yeah, quarterback to attack tongue of Valoa. I

754
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: said he was a streaming option I liked. Not a

755
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: whole bunch of good quarterback streamers this week. Jeff Wilson Jr.

756
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: With a great match up against the Texans and Fliza

757
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: Mitchell cannot suit up with Miles Sanders breaking his hand,

758
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard and Boston Scott now becomes streaming options against Washington,

759
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: Rex Burke Head who's coming off of a career day,

760
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: Darry ogum Ba wall La in case you're getting a

761
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: little bit deeper in need a running back, and then

762
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: Keyshawn Vallun just for deeper leagues because he's explosive and

763
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: gets the New York Jets. Isaiah Mackenzie's coming off of

764
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: a huge game. I think he uh with a favorable

765
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: matchup next week against the Falcons. Is a wide receiver

766
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: in play. Kadarius Tony was back and led the Giants

767
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: and targets love to see that. Joshua Palmer just because

768
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: there's reports that Mike Williams is unvaccinated and if that

769
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: is the case, he will miss next week as well.

770
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson, I know he's a deeper league play, but

771
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: he continues to get volume, as does Zay Jones, but

772
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: purely a deep league there for him. Gerald Everett would

773
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: be my top tight end target is he just consistently

774
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: gets volume. And then Tyler Haigbee. You already spoke about him, Marcus,

775
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: but he is a really strong option. And then colch

776
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: Met and Ricky Seals Jones just getting a little bit

777
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: deeper if you're in need of a tight end. So

778
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: there you have it, Uh, the waiver wire options for

779
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: the week. I mean, look, you guys know at this

780
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: point it is kind of slim pickens out there, but

781
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: they're always maybe if you hidden gym's somewhere, if you

782
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: were able to look hard enough and get the right matchup.

783
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 1: But let's take a look at some of the guys

784
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,479
Speaker 1: that you mentioned on your list. Let's start with Keyshawn Vaughn.

785
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: We know Leonard four Nett is done for the rest

786
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: of the regular season. We'll see what his availability maybe

787
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. If playoff Lenny is gonna be back

788
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: this year. Um, Ronald Jones got a lot of work,

789
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown on Sunday for the Buccaneers, but Keyshaw

790
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: and Vaughn sort of working in. Could he be a

791
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: flex option maybe in deeper leagues this week for for

792
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. I think so, Like I wouldn't wanna, I

793
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to start him, but again with COVID and injuries, um,

794
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: and if you're in a deeper format, there's probably not

795
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: a whole lot out there on the waiver wire. I

796
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: think that is the perfect spot for him because he's explosive.

797
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: Like we said, like Ronald Jones got the lead work,

798
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 1: but Keyshawn Vaughan broke out a fifty five yard touchdown.

799
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: He played about a third of the snaps. And it

800
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: is the Jets who allow by far the most fantasy

801
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: points to running back. So this is really just taking

802
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: a shot on the Bucks hoping they have a lead

803
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: and maybe if they get a lead there, like Ronald Jones,

804
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: you could at this one out. We're gonna let Keyshawn

805
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: Vaughn kind of take us home. It was interesting to

806
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 1: see him get as much work as he did because

807
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: he sort of struggled a couple of weeks ago against

808
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: the Saints. After four Nett went out, I know he

809
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: dropped a few passes, really struggled to kind of hit

810
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: the holes. But then again, the Bucks offense as a

811
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: whole didn't do much of anything, so maybe you just

812
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: don't hold that against him. But he did look explosive.

813
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: I remember it was. It was just a couple of

814
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: years ago. We were talking about Keyshawn Vaughn is a sleeper,

815
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: not sure what what was gonna happen in the Buccaneers backfield.

816
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: Then Leonard four Nette completely took it over um and

817
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: Vaughan kind of became an afterthought there in Tampa. Um.

818
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: Next up, Robbie Anderson now should mention that there appears

819
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: to be a COVID outbreak happening around the Carolina Panthers.

820
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: On Monday, head coach Matt Rules said, uh, they sent

821
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: everybody home after a significant number of positive tests occurred.

822
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: At the time we're recording this show. We don't know

823
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: who those players are, but it's something just to kind

824
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: of keep in mind as the week progresses. But in

825
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: the meantime, Robbie Anderson starting to see a few more

826
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: targets the last few weeks. Sam Donald is back. I

827
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: don't know if that is good or bad for Robbie Anderson,

828
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: but he is back in as part of the offense.

829
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: So at least for the last week or two are

830
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: we back in on him? Not willingly, He's one of

831
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 1: those deeper options. Again, Like I don't love Robbie Anderson,

832
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: but if I play in a deeper league, or you know,

833
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: if my waiver wire is just really thin and I

834
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: need a receiver or reflex, I think he that's where

835
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson comes in. Because he's been averaging ten targets

836
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: per game over the last three weeks, with at least

837
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 1: eight targets in all three, showing us a pretty safe

838
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: floor of around nine fantasy points. Even has a twenty

839
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 1: one fantasy point game in there. So again not ideally

840
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: starting Robbie Anderson, but it all depends on the COVID

841
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: outbreak as well. There. But if he's playing and you're

842
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: in need of a deeper option, I think that's his

843
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: sweet spot. Man. Mean, we had such high expectations for

844
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: him and then just just have to pull the shoot

845
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: and sort of abandon him mid season. Now, for him,

846
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: to set sort of come creeping back. Interesting. Um, everything

847
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: in Carolina offensively is sort of a mess at the moment.

848
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 1: So that's that's my one caveat with with Robby Anderson

849
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,919
Speaker 1: right now. Alright, So, top target off the waiver wire

850
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: in week seventeen, you somehow have priority. You miraculously have

851
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 1: a few fab dollars left. Where are you going with him?

852
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 1: For me, the top target is whoever helps you're starting

853
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: lineup the most. I know you're talking about a running back, Marcus,

854
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: So if you're in need of a receiver, I think

855
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: it's Isaiah Mackenzie because he was targeted twelve times this

856
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: past week. That was second most on the Bills, behind

857
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: only Stefon Diggs. And he played really well. He had

858
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: eleven catches for a hundred and twenty five receiving yards,

859
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of really impressive catches, and he scored a touchdown.

860
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 1: And the thing is, I know a lot of people

861
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: are thinking this is a one week thing. Gabriel Davis

862
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: has already been ruled out for next week because he's

863
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: unvaccinated and was added late in the week on COVID,

864
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: so he is out week sixteen, and I mean weeks seventeen,

865
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: and then Cole Beasley has a shot to come back,

866
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be kind of taking it down to

867
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: the wire because he is unvaccinated as well. So I

868
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: think at the very least we see Isaiah Mackenzie running

869
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: in three wide receiver sets. I think he is uh

870
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: surpassed Emmanuel Sanders, who just clearly isn't healthy right now. Uh.

871
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: And even if Beasley sits, then then I think he's

872
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: a top two option in that Bill's passing game. Again,

873
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen likes to spread the ball around. I mean,

874
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: obviously Stefan Diggs had a nice day on Sunday and

875
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 1: he's gonna get his targets, but they gotta go other

876
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: places with the football. We've seen Gabe Davis step up,

877
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 1: now Mackenzie step up, so he could be a guy

878
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: who has another nice week for Buffalo. For me, you

879
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: mentioned a running back is Jeff Wilson, and I'm surprised

880
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: that he's still available. I would think that at this

881
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: point folks would have sort of jumped on the Jeff

882
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: Wilson bandwagon. As long as Eli Mitchell isn't there, Jeff

883
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: Wilson is going to be the guy and I think

884
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: we saw a lot of him this week before. I

885
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 1: think some of the hesitation might have been well Deepo

886
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: Samuel is doing so so great as a running back

887
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: and Deepo has been very with there. But on Thursday

888
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: against the Titans, Deebo went back to being more of

889
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: a pass catcher. H It was Jeff Wilson doing a

890
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: lot of the running work there and even catching some

891
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: passes from Jimmy Garoppolo underneath. So as long as Eli

892
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: Mitchell is not available, and we'll see how that goes

893
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,760
Speaker 1: as the week continues, Um, Jeff Wilson should be on rosters.

894
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson very well should be in lineup at least

895
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: as a flex option this week because, like I always say,

896
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: we always want part of a Kyle Shanahan running game.

897
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: All right, If you want more of the waiver wire talk,

898
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: you can go check out Michael left Florio's article NFL

899
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: dot Com slash Waiver Wire. It is live and now,

900
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: so you can go and kind of skim through that

901
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: and I figure out how you're gonna make your waiver picks.

902
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: Heading in two weeks seventeen. One last game in week sixteen,

903
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: which means one more opportunity for you to maybe get

904
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: some few more fantasy points and sneak into a fantasy

905
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: championship situation. It is the Dolphins and the Saints, and uh,

906
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: let's start on the Miami side. Duke Johnson had a

907
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: big game last week for Miami, kind of surprising a

908
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: lot of folks with as much volume, as much production

909
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: as he got. Miles Gaskins still there though, so I'm

910
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: gonna ask who do you think has the bigger week

911
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 1: this week? Is a Gaskin or is it Duke Johnson. Again,

912
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm going with Miles Gaskin, but I say that with

913
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: little confidence because Duke Johnson played so well last week,

914
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: and I was thinking part of it was because Gaskin

915
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: was on COVID list, he didn't get any reps in

916
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,919
Speaker 1: a practice. They just decided to go with the guy

917
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 1: that that had been getting those reps. But he played

918
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: so well that I think a committee or a split

919
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: is definitely possible. But until we see a healthy Gaskin

920
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: get replaced by Duke Johnson, I'll still lean his way.

921
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: But again, it wouldn't surprise me if we see like

922
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,919
Speaker 1: a fifty fifty split or something like that. I don't

923
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: expect Duke Johnson to go away completely because as you mentioned,

924
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: he was so good last week. But I am still

925
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: gonna go with Miles Gaskin, and not just because I

926
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: need like eleven points from him tonight in order to

927
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: win a matchup. But I think that he's still until

928
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: for their notice the lead running back. I think he

929
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: gets more of the opportunities. Um. But it's gonna be

930
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: an interesting one to punch for Miami because both those

931
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: guys can do similar things. UM. I've always said of

932
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson, like in the past, he's a good running

933
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: back who always played on teams with better running backs.

934
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: He's a good receiver who always played on teams with

935
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: slightly better receivers. But maybe he's found a home in Miami. Look,

936
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: he went to the U, so maybe maybe it's good

937
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 1: for him to be back in Miami again. Who knows

938
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: that you there is thrown up, UM, Jalen Waddle, who

939
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: has been pretty good all year long. Let's put a

940
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: number at the fifteen Fantasy points. Are you going over

941
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: or under that for Jalen Waddle tonight? I'm gonna go

942
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: over for Waddle tonight. That the strength of the Saints

943
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: defense is clearly against the runs. So if Gaskin, Duke Johnson,

944
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: either one of them struggle to get going, I think

945
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: we see a lot of passes and Waddle is you know,

946
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: he he has some explosiveness, but they also give him

947
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: a lot of short passes near the line of scrimmage,

948
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: kind of almost as an extension of the run game

949
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. So I think he on catch is alone.

950
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: It puts him towards in a safe bet to get

951
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: over fifteen. I I'm happy that in the league I'm

952
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: facing him in I have a big lead because I

953
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: think he could have a really big game tonight. I'm

954
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: gonna go over as well. I do think a lot

955
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: of the targets, a lot of the catches. I mean,

956
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: this is a fairly concentrated passing game. I mean Waddle

957
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,760
Speaker 1: has gotten a lot of Look, I know, Mike Gasicki

958
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: has been sort of up and down a little bit.

959
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker has seen a lot of opportunities since he's

960
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,479
Speaker 1: come back from injury. But Waddle is the lead guy

961
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,280
Speaker 1: in this aerial attack. And so I think, as you mentioned,

962
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: with the Saints being so good against the run, um,

963
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,919
Speaker 1: that's gonna make it hard on Gaskin and Johnson, which

964
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: means to it will have to throw the football a

965
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: little bit more. Uh, and Waddle is gonna get a

966
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,959
Speaker 1: whole lot of those opportunities real fast. If I say

967
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 1: twelve points for DeVante Parker, you're going higher or lower

968
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: than that. I'm gonna go just higher. He's been good

969
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: for about eleven every healthy game he's played, so he

970
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: just needs like one more catch to get over twelve. Alright,

971
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: So I'll go the over two because it's just more fun, uh,

972
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: rooting for the over than the under. Uh. Last thing

973
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: the say it's right now? A mess. Offensively, they are

974
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: likely starting Ian Book at quarterback. Their wide receivers really

975
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: have not done much to speak of most of the year.

976
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: It's been the Alvin Camara show pretty much. So, uh,

977
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: is there a saint besides Alvin Camarra that you would

978
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: consider starting tonight. I found a little bit of a

979
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: loophole because there's not one individual. But I'll start eleven

980
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: of them that play defense because they just they shut

981
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: down Tom Brady. They're one of the better defenses in

982
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: the league. So Miami, I like a lot of their pieces,

983
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're the toughest test in the league.

984
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,439
Speaker 1: So I was actually streaming the Saints in a couple

985
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: of leagues myself this week. Besides that, Nope, yeah, I say,

986
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 1: I will, I will grant you your loophole because yeah,

987
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: that that is probably it. But there's there's nobody else. Um,

988
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: I can't trust any of the wide receivers. I'm not

989
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 1: even sure who they're regular tight end is at this point. Um.

990
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: I I will say this, I think in a daily lineup,

991
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: I think I put in little Jordan Humphrey mostly because

992
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: his salary fit the slot that I had left. Not

993
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: that I have any real, um you know, expectations for

994
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: little Jordan Humphrey, but Ian Book any of the past

995
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: catchers besides camera, that's kind of it because that's sort

996
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: of the way New Orleans has has gone so far

997
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: this season offensively. I mean, I don't know about you.

998
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: It seems bad when the reports come out that the

999
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,919
Speaker 1: Saints talked to Drew Brees and Philip Rivers about maybe

1000
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 1: coming to quarterback. I don't know, it seems like maybe

1001
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: they don't believe in Ian Book. That's just me, huh, Yeah,

1002
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: I I I read a scouting report that was like,

1003
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: not a great arm, but can run, but he's a

1004
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: little undersized. And we were speaking about it yesterday. I

1005
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: was like, oh, this reads as if it's like a

1006
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: smaller tastom Hill, Like what could possibly go wrong? The

1007
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 1: only fun thing is I saw people calling tonight's game

1008
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: the Ian Book fair and uh that that kind of

1009
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: made me chuckle. I mean, you know, by the end

1010
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: of the night, we're gonna get an ian Book report,

1011
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 1: so we'll figure out. We'll figure out a lot about

1012
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 1: Ian Book when it's all said and done. All right,

1013
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: in the meantime for us, that is it. We are done.

1014
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,959
Speaker 1: We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football show.

1015
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: You know the drill. Tell two friends to tell two

1016
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: friends rate review and remember a grape fruit looks a

1017
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: lot more like an orange than a grape Be safe,

1018
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 1: take care of yourselves, get vaccinated, and we will see

1019
